I am importing slides from other users. We all have standard backgrounds we
have to use. When I put their slides in with mine, their slides are changing
to my background. How can I prevent this from happening.

thank you
 
When you paste the slides from other presentation into yours, a "paste
options" icon will appear beside the slide thumbnail. Click on the icon and
select "Keep Source Formatting".

It's the same if you are using Insert > Slide from files. Put a checkmark on
the "Keep Source Formatting" before inserting the slides.

Catherine,
How are you importing the slides. Do you use Insert - Slides from file? In
that case, check the keep source formatting checkbox in the dialogue, you
will find it bottom left.
 
The icon on powerpoint does not appear when I paste other slides with
differerent background. I have the 2007 microsoft office for small business
version
 
Hi

Check in Office Button > PowerPoint Options > Advanced that in Cut, Copy &
Paste the "Paste Options Button" is enabled.
